CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/517,315 filed on Oct. 17, 2014, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/031,547, filed Jul. 31, 2014, the entire disclosures of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference in this Application.

BACKGROUND

The present invention concerns an improved process for preparing 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine.

US 20130288893(A1) describes, inter alia, certain (3-halo-1-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)amides and carbamates and their use as pesticides. The route to prepare such compounds involved the preparation of 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (5b) by the direct coupling of 3-bromopyridine with 3-chloropyrazole. The 3-chloropyrazole was prepared by a) treating 1H-pyrazole with 2-dimethylsulfamoyl chloride and sodium hydride to provide N,N-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonamide, b) treating the N,N-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonamide with perchloroethane and n-butyl lithium to provide 3-chloro-N,N-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonamide, and c) removing the N,N-dimethylsulfonamide from 3-chloro-N,N-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-sulfonamide with trifluoroacetic acid to give the 3-chloropyrazole.

The disclosed process produces low yields, relies on a starting material that is difficult to prepare (3-chloropyrazole) and provides a product that is difficult to isolate in a pure form. It would be desirable to have a process for preparing 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine that avoids these problems.

SUMMARY

The present invention provides such an alternative by cyclizing 3-hydrazinopyridine.dihydrochloride with acrylonitrile to provide 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a), by oxidizing to provide 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a), and by converting the amino group to a chloro group by a Sandmeyer reaction. Thus, the present invention concerns a process for preparing 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (5b),


which comprises

a) treating 3-hydrazinopyridine.dihydrochloride


with acrylonitrile


in a (C1-C4) aliphatic alcohol at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 100° C. in the presence of an alkali metal (C1-C4) alkoxide to provide 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a)

b) treating the 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a) with an oxidant in an inert organic solvent at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 100° C. to provide 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a)

c) treating the 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a) in aqueous hydrochloric acid with sodium nitrite at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 25° C. to provide the diazonium salt (8b)


and

d) treating the diazonium salt (8b) with copper chloride at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 25° C.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention provides an improved process for preparing 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (5b), by cyclizing 3-hydrazinopyridine.dihydrochloride with acrylonitrile to provide 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a), by oxidizing to provide 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a), and by converting the amino group to a chloro group by a Sandmeyer reaction.

In the first step, 3-hydrazinopyridine.dihydrochloride is treated with acrylonitrile in a (C1-C4) aliphatic alcohol at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 100° C. in the presence of an alkali metal (C1-C4) alkoxide to provide 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine. While stoichiometric amounts of 3-hydrazinopyridine.dihydrochloride and acrylonitrile are required, it is often convenient to use about a 1.5 fold to about a 2 fold excess of acrylonitrile. The cyclization is run in the presence of an alkali metal (C1-C4) alkoxide base. It is often convenient to use about a 2 fold to about a 5 fold excess of base. The cyclization is performed in a (C1-C4) aliphatic alcohol. It is most convenient that the alkoxide base and the alcohol solvent be the same, for example, sodium ethoxide in ethanol.

In a typical reaction, 3-hydrazinopyridine.dihydrochloride and an anhydrous alcohol are introduced into a reaction vessel and the alkoxide base is gradually added. The mixture is stirred and the acrylonitrile is added. The mixture is stirred at about 60° C. until most of the 3-hydrazinopyridine has reacted. The mixture is allowed to cool and the excess base is neutralized with acid. The crude 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a) is conveniently isolated and purified by standard techniques.

In the second step, 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a) is treated with an oxidant in an organic solvent at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 100° C. to provide 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a). Suitable oxidants include manganese(IV) oxide, potassium ferricyanide(III), copper(I) chloride in the presence of oxygen, and iron(III) chloride in the presence of oxygen. Manganese(IV) oxide is preferred. It is often convenient to use about a 2 fold to about a 10 fold excess of oxidant. The oxidation is performed in a solvent that is inert to the oxidant. Suitable solvents include nitriles such as acetonitrile or halocarbons such as dichloromethane. With manganese(IV) oxide as the oxidant, acetonitrile is a preferred solvent.

In a typical reaction, 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a) and solvent are mixed with the oxidant and the mixture is heated at about 60° C. until the reaction is completed. The 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a) is conveniently isolated and purified by standard techniques.

The 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a) is then converted to the desired 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (5b) by treatment in aqueous hydrochloric acid with sodium nitrite at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 25° C. to provide a diazonium salt followed by treatment of the diazonium salt with copper chloride at a temperature of about 0° C. to about 25° C. While stoichiometric amounts of reagents are required, it is often convenient to use an excesses of reagents with respect to the 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a). Thus, aqueous hydrochloric acid is used in large excess as the reaction medium. Sodium nitrite is used in about a 1.3 fold to about a 2 fold excess. Copper chloride is used in about 5 mole percent to about 60 mole percent excess, preferably from about 15 mole percent to about 30 mole percent excess. The copper chloride may be either copper(I) chloride or copper(II) chloride. To suppress foaming during the reaction a water-immiscible organic solvent such as toluene or chloroform can be added during the treatment of the diazonium salt with copper chloride.

In a typical reaction, a mixture of 3-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (8a) and aqueous hydrochloric acid are mixed and cooled to about 0° C. An aqueous solution of sodium nitrite is slowly added maintaining the temperature below about 5° C. The suspension is stirred at about 0° C. for about 2 hours. In a separate vessel, a mixture of copper(II) chloride and toluene is cooled to about 0° C. and the chilled suspension of diazonium salt is added at a rate maintaining the temperature below about 5° C. The mixture is allowed to warm to about ambient temperature. After completion of the reaction, the mixture is treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide to adjust the pH to about 8 to about 10. The resulting solution is extracted with a water-immiscible organic solvent. After removal of the solvent, the 3-(3-chloro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (5b) can be used directly in the next reaction or further purified by standard techniques such as flash column chromatography or crystallization.

The following examples are presented to illustrate the invention.

Examples 1. Preparation of 1-(pyridin-3-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (9a)

To a 4-neck, round bottomed flask (250 mL) was charged sodium ethanolate (21 wt % in ethanol, 32 mL). 3-Hydrazinopyridine-dihydrochloride (5.00 g, 27.5 mmol) was added, causing an exotherm from 20° C. to 58° C. The mixture was allowed to cool to 20° C. and acrylonitrile (2.91 g, 54.9 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated at 60° C. for 5 hours and cooled to 20° C. The excess sodium ethanolate was quenched with hydrochloric acid (4 M in 1,4-dioxane, 6.88 mL, 27.5 mmol) at <20° C. The mixture was adsorbed on silica gel (10 g) and the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography using 0-10% methanol/dichloromethane as eluent.
